Testing a thing for a buddy

I don't think you can do that. *I* can't do that, and I know enough HTML to maintain a LiveJournal. Is he writing for a website? Is this a language thing -- does he mean you must save a document in Rich Text Format or .txt so that HE can import it onto his website without conflicts? This is kind of fascinating in a horrifying way -- he CANNOT actually mean that you should take his document and do it in HTML.. He wants to you take his writing and fill it with these little buggers???
